Cops: Mom Hid Infant In Trunk To Avoid Ticket
Motorist, 19, did not have car seat, so she stashed baby in boot
DOCUMENT: Stupid, Crime September 24, 2014
SEPTEMBER 24--Fearful that she would get ticketed for not having a car seat, a Florida woman, 19, drove around early yesterday with her five-month-old baby inside the trunk of her car, police allege.
After spotting a passing 2005 Dodge Stratus with one of its headlights out, Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies sought to pull over the vehicle around 1 AM. The motorist, later identified as Breona Synclair Watkins, continued driving for several blocks before stopping her vehicle.
When a deputy asked Watkins why she did not immediately stop the car, “she said she has never been pulled over before,†according to a sheriff’s report. After giving deputies a false name, Watkins subsequently “advised that that she lied about her name because she does not have a license.†Watkins was then arrested and placed in a patrol car.
During the stop, a second cop “heard crying from the vehicle and there was no child in the vehicle.†Upon opening the trunk, an investigator found Watkins’s baby inside. The infant was atop a “large pair of bush cutting shears†and was surrounded by other potentially dangerous items, like a tire iron, a rusty hanger, a fuel pump, and plastic bags.
While being questioned, Watkins said that the baby had been in the lap of a 14-year-old male passenger (whose mother owns the Dodge). But when cops tried to initiate a traffic stop, she directed the boy to stash the baby in the trunk “through the rear seat opening which folds down.â€
Ooooookay. Not a 'model parent.'

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
